INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE OF THE MASTER PROGRAM

The Master Program provides preliminary information that will guide project definition and future design work for the Faculty of Land and Food Systems (LFS) spaces and functions within the H.R. MacMillan Building which would be based in a renewed or replacement building. As preliminary information, more detailed planning may be required during design.

The intent of this document is to develop sufficient programmatic information to inform decisions about the reuse or replacement of MacMillan Building by LFS and to initiate detailed programming, planning and design processes. Projected functional requirements are based on estimates for the 2023/24 academic year. Additional review and further development will be required during later stages of project definition and design.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK PERFORMED

RPG began work on the LFS H.R. MacMillan Functions in October 2018. An initial meeting was held with the Project Steering Committee on October 5 followed by meetings with User Advisory Groups in the following two weeks. Near the end of this period, RPG received completed survey information which identified current and projected student enrollments, faculty and staffing, and research lab needs. A draft document was developed and released for review and comment the week of November 19. RPG met with the Project Steering Committee to review the document on December 7. Further instructions were received by RPG on January 7 and a second draft was issued on January 16, 2019 for final review with User Advisory Groups (UAGs) at the end of January and in early February 2019. A list of outstanding questions was sent on February 1, 2019 to LFS. Responses were received on March 23, 2019 and incorporated into the final document.

Final draft Land and Food Systems H. R. MacMillan Functions Master Program was submitted April 12, 2019. During April and May final edits were received and the final document was submitted in August 2019.

KEY PARAMETERS

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The Faculty of LFS is accommodated within a number of facilities at UBC’s Point Grey Campus, with standard teaching, research and administrative activities accommodated within the H.R. MacMillan Building, which serves as the administrative base for the Faculty, and the Food, Nutrition and Health Building. Other Faculty activities are accommodated at the Point Grey Campus, including the Horticulture Greenhouse and UBC Farm, and at the UBC Dairy Centre in Agassiz.

This project includes a review of the space requirements for the Faculty of LFS activities that are currently accommodated within the H.R. MacMillan Building as well as LFS’ Pilot Plant currently located in temporary space in the Wesbrook Building.

While the MacMillan Building is primarily occupied by LFS, Floor Levels 2 and 3 of the South Wing are also occupied by the Faculty of Applied Science. Floor Levels 1 and 2 of the Centre Wing include a number of general use classrooms, and Floor Level 3 includes informal learning spaces (Learning Commons), in the former MacMillan Library space.

MacMillan Building was constructed in 1967. Many building systems and finishes are at the end of their serviceable life. Concurrent investigations around issues and costs associated with renovating the MacMillan Building are being conducted as this Master Program is being developed. As such, the Master Program information is intended to identify the ideal requirements of LFS activities that are currently

located within MacMillan Building. No attempt has been made to align existing space used by LFS within MacMillan with the space requirements developed in this Master Program.

As this Master Program information is reviewed or utilized in subsequent design processes, it should be noted that existing office sizes are generally larger than the standard sizes identified in this document. If the project is a renovation of MacMillan, building conditions may have an impact on whether the office sizes identified in the Master Program can be achieved.

LAND AND FOOD SYSTEMS STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS

Mission Statement

The UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems uses student‐centered learning to educate new generations of scientists equipped to solve the most fundamental issues faced by society — those focused around human health, a sustainable food supply and the responsible use of finite land and water resources. To that end, Faculty initiatives foster and support research excellence, innovative active learning environments, strong community connections, and global and local collaborations.1

Vision

The Faculty of Land and Food Systems is a world leader in integrated research, education and service to address critical global issues around human health, and a sustainable food supply.

Priorities

The project will assist in meeting the following LFS stated Priorities identified in the Faculty’s Action Plan 2016‐2020:

Teaching, Student Learning and Engagement

Enhance the quality and impact of teaching and programs for all students;

Strengthen efforts to promote and support student success;

Recruit top students and improve student retention; and

Support student well‐being, personal development, and outstanding campus life.

Research Innovation and Excellence

Build and capitalize on the strengths of our researchers as well as our research and teaching centres;

Support and enhance grant funding competitiveness and success;

Foster greater inter‐LFS collaboration among faculty members as well as collaborations with UBC, Canadian, and international researchers; and

Build Faculty capacity through infrastructure development.

Community Engagement

Build a sustainable alumni and community engagement and commitment to LFS by expanding opportunities for lifelong engagement;

Establish a sustainable fundraising program for annual goals and build strong development partnerships; and

Increase understanding and awareness of the Faculty of Land and food Systems.

Outstanding Work Environment

Ensure a work environment that fulfills employees’ needs for continual learning and growth leading to increased employee satisfaction;

Recognize and reward outstanding staff and faculty members;

Create a strong team of staff so support Faculty goals; and

Streamline committees and reporting systems, and establish LFS policies and procedures.

Planning Horizon for the Project

Master Programming has been based on estimated future activities as best understood by LFS representatives for the current (year 2018/19) and estimated future 'planning horizon' (year 2023/24).




ENROLLMENTS AND PROGRAMS SUMMARY

This section provides a summary of key assumptions driving the project.

The Faculty of LFS is anticipating that some program areas will see significant growth and that other program areas will see modest growth, with an overall increase in student enrollments of approximately 18%.

Undergraduate Programs

Most of the undergraduate enrollment growth is focused on Applied Biology, Forestry and Global Resource Systems streams as well as a new BSc stream in Food and Resource Economics.

The Faculty offers a Land One program jointly with the Faculty of Forestry. Land One is a cohort‐based program with an integrated format that focuses on issues and real world cases, such as climate change, food security, land use and sustainability. It is anticipated that in the future one‐quarter of all first year students will be in the Land One program stream. Currently, scheduled instruction is accommodated in Forestry and the lounge space within the MacMillan Building.

Service courses are limited to APBI 200 supporting Forestry students.

In addition, a number of the courses are cross listed, including cross listed courses with the Faculty of Science (Biology [incl. BIOL/APBI 210, 324, 327, 364, 421, and 440], Geographical Sciences, and Computational Intelligence and Design) and the Faculty of Forestry (Conservation).

Graduate Programs

Research oriented graduate programs currently have an enrollment of 121 student FTEs. This will increase to 146.0 student FTEs in the future, primarily as more PhD students are expected.

The Faculty currently offers three Professional Masters programs which have a combined enrollment of 88.0 student FTEs.

Two new Professional Masters programs have been identified for the next five years. It is assumed these programs will follow current PM models, with cohort‐oriented, course and project‐based programs that are completed within one calendar year.

Students in Professional Masters programs will be based in specific program spaces and do not require any other assigned desks or space in research labs.




Pedagogy

The Faculty makes significant use of problem based learning modalities, necessitating need for smaller breakout spaces for tutorials and small group discussion. Some of these may be associated with larger tiered classrooms, but others should be located with the classrooms to facilitate use during scheduled classes.

The Faculty has stressed the need for flexibility within instructional spaces to support the wide range of pedagogy used by faculty, lecturers, and instructors.

The following table summarizes program growth for the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, including programs delivered in the Food, Nutrition and Health Building.

2 NSM: horizontal area of space that is assignable to a specific function. Net areas of rooms are measured to the inside face

of wall surfaces. 3 CGSM: portion of a building assigned to a specific component/department but including only the net assignable areas plus

internal component circulation (such as corridors), partitions, and small plumbing shafts. General circulation, mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, and exterior wall thicknesses are excluded from this measurement.

4 BGSM – calculated by multiplying total of CGSM areas X 1.65. The building Gross up is the difference between total NSM and BGSM; it accommodates general circulation, entrance vestibules, elevator shafts, staircases, mechanical and electrical rooms, exterior wall thicknesses, washrooms, etc. This is included for reference only, to reflect the implications of the project as new construction.

Qualifications and assumptions to consider when reviewing the preliminary space requirements table above include:

Classrooms: Classrooms are considered as part of an overall precinct strategy with requirements reviewed to ensure they comply with current UBC guidelines and the capacity and space requirements of LFS and UBC.

Total Area: No attempt has been made to match total preliminary space requirements with total existing area. A number of factors reduce the validity of comparisons, including:

- Office Size: Current office sizes in the MacMillan Building are generally larger than the standard office sizes used in the Master Program. If the project includes renovations, floorplate, structural and window modules may result in




offices that vary from the standard sizes identified in the Master Program. The design team should be aware of this difference when mapping out areas; and

- Research Graduate Students: Research graduate students and post‐doctoral fellows have been allocated a 1.5m X 0.6m desk, which varies from the range of desks and desk sizes currently utilized.

SECTION 2: COMPONENT PLANNING CRITERIA


Section 2: Component Planning Criteria INTRODUCTION

1819‐1/document/2. Comp Intro.docx Resource Planning Group Inc. 2‐1 August 6, 2019

INTRODUCTION The Component Planning Criteria section includes brief descriptions of Faculty of LFS activities and functional requirements anticipated to be located in the MacMillan Building. Functional requirements are based on estimated enrollments, faculty and staffing provided by the Faculty. Information is preliminary and intended to guide project definition. More detailed planning and revisions may be required as the project moves into the design phase.

The basic "building block" for planning facilities is the functional component. A functional component can be defined as a cohesive grouping of activities and assigned spaces, which are related by service or physical arrangement. Functional components include:

A. Classrooms, Teaching Labs, Undergraduate Student Support, Informal Learning Space;

B. Research Labs, Research Lab Support and Professional Masters Programs;

C. Academic and Administrative Offices and Related Support; and

D. Building Services and End of Trip Facilities.

Each component includes information under the following headings:

Brief narrative description, which highlights key planning considerations that are relevant to the component;

Factors determining size, based on the 2023/24 planning horizon of the Master Plan;

Locational criteria, highlighting other components and features that should be proximate, or other locational criteria; and

Preliminary space requirements providing a list of spaces required to accommodate 2023/24 component activities. Included are the name of the room or space, the number of rooms or spaces (units), the net square metres per unit (nsm/unit), the total net square metres for each room or space (nsm), and any supplemental remarks.

Section 2: Component Planning CriteriaA. CLASSROOMS, TEACHING LABS, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SUPPORT AND INFORMAL LEARNING SPACE

1819‐1/document/2. Components LFS.docx Resource Planning Group Inc. 2‐3 August 6, 2019

A. CLASSROOMS, TEACHING LABS, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SUPPORT, AND INFORMAL LEARNING SPACE

This component accommodates the following functions:

Scheduled instruction of the Faculty of LFS courses in classrooms, tutorial rooms, and teaching labs;

Informal Learning space (ILS); and

LFS Undergraduate Society.

FACTORS DETERMINING SIZE

Subject to future review by LFS, the following summarizes key assumptions and workload inputs related to this component.

Section Hours and Room Requirements

The following tables summarize future (year 2023/24) lecture and tutorial, and teaching laboratory section hours for each of the Fall (W1) and Winter (W2) terms, summarized in terms of section sizes. These tables are summaries of detailed workload information included in Appendix D, which were provided by LFS representatives. In addition, these tables include estimates of the number of required rooms and seat capacities.

Classrooms For the purposes of the Master Program, for lectures and most tutorials requiring classroom type space, and in order to estimate the number of required classrooms and seat capacities, a maximum classroom time utilization rate assumes a 45‐hour week (up to 9 scheduled classroom hours per day, Monday to Friday) and an 80% factor to allow for scheduling inefficiencies. These assumptions result in a maximum scheduled room utilization of 36 hours per week (45 hrs x 80% = 36 hrs).

The table on the following page summarizes LFS classroom needs by capacity, and includes all undergraduate and graduate courses taught by LFS as well as cross‐listed courses. It also includes courses offered in other buildings within the precinct. As such the information needs to take into account the other available classrooms within the precinct.

In some cases, the use of an Active Learning classroom was identified as a specific preference. These have been grouped with the respective classroom sizes.

Breakout room needs have been identified separately. A number of courses make extensive use of breakout rooms, with FNH 313 requiring use of 11 breakout rooms concurrently at this time. In the future, this may be accommodated through use of Active Learning/flexible classrooms. The need to support this type of activity and strategies for how this need can be accommodated should be explored in subsequent phases of project development.




The Graduate scheduled hour calculation assumes that the new Professional Masters program will require access to a classroom that accommodates up to 20 students 15 hours per week.

Note: Facilities Planning Learning Space Team has been interested in changing the room capacities of the FNH classrooms to align with the new Learning Space Design Guidelines. The primary users, LFS, have been reluctant to agree to a reduction in seats in those rooms. If new General Teaching Space is built in the MacMillan renew project, FP will take that opportunity to adjust the capacities in FNH. Therefore, for future planning, this Program assumes FNH will have General Teaching Space capacities of 1@27, 3@30 and 1@99.

For reference, key general criteria for planning classrooms include:

Learning space design will comply with the UBC Learning Space Design Guidelines, Technical Guidelines, Building Code and other UBC guidelines and specifications as required. Along with the requirements of these documents, key general considerations include:

- moveable chairs and tables for flat floored classrooms and seminar rooms and movable chairs and fixed tables for tiered theatres,

- multiple marker boards in all classrooms,

Informal Learning Space ILS is essential to accommodate necessary completion of assignments, as well as to support informal study and informal meetings. For reference, the following informal study spaces are currently provided:

Agora (Room 60), with 90‐seats;

Undergraduate Society Lounge (Room 66) with 10‐seats; and

Land One Base (Room 318J) with 30‐seats.

For reference, and as per the UBC Learning Space Design Guidelines, academic buildings should provide ILS seats equivalent to at least 12%




of the total number of other learning space seats in the building. These ILS seats should generally be organized as 65% to 70% centralized and 30% to 35% decentralized. For reference and as proposed in the Master Program, there are 128 required teaching lab seats and approximately 640 required classroom seats for a total of 768 required learning space seats. This results in a need for approximately 92 ILS seats. Currently, between the rooms noted above, there are 130 seats.

Events accommodated in the Agora include:

Weekly Wednesday Night Dinners with up to 100 attendees;

Annual ACE Team Opportunities and Involvement Fair with up to 50 attendees;

LFS Tri‐Mentoring Program Kick‐off Dinner;

Student and Staff Christmas Party; and

Monthly ACE Team events –with up to 40 attendees.

Note that the Dietetics Community Dinner, at one time held in the Agora, is located elsewhere on campus due to high demand.

LFS Undergraduate Society (LFS|US)

LFS|US currently is accommodated in Room 64, which acts as the office space, Room 62, which provides storage for LFS|US events and for the student run Agora Café, and Room 66, which provides a lounge with pool table, foosball and soft seating. More proximate storage is required for the Agora Café.

Lockers

Lockers are available for rent through the LFS|US, currently located adjacent to the Agora. It is thought that the lockers are not particularly well used with consideration given to the number that should be provided.




LOCATIONAL CRITERIA Key locational criteria include:

Classrooms – should be clustered together with the main entry, ideally on the ground or lower floor level;

Instructional Labs – should be clustered together to the extent that is practical with the Soils Lab located on a lower floor level with easy access to the exterior; and

Informal Learning – the main informal learning area should be located central and on a lower level, in some proximity to the main classroom and teaching lab areas.
